A large percentage of the population doesn’t want much to do with Obamacare because the authorities have continually misled us over the numbers who have signed up and/or who have paid their health-care premium. And, signing up for Medicaid isn’t the solution to getting affordable health care. More and more medical service providers can’t keep their offices open on what the government will reimburse. It’s harder and harder to find readily available Medicare family health providers. You can’t blame the doctors for this situation.

At every turn, when Obama says he doesn’t have to depend on the Congress to act – he’ll just use his pen – we’ve got to realize the constitutional law professor who was elected by Democrats really has little respect for his constitutional duties. We can’t even get to the bottom of the Bengazi issue or how the IRS went far beyond its authority. These are scary times. The Democrats in Congress jumped up and cheered everything said at the State of the Union address. They surely must believe the president is on the right track – and the electorate be damned.
